Yeah, I knew this was coming almost as soon as I posted this. Fair enough that you suspect me for what I said. I don't think I'm agreeing and then disagreeing. I'm basically saying the same thing as Falselogic just said in a lot more words.

I am trying to buddy up to Egarwaen. I'm trying to buddy up to everyone so you will like me and not throw me out of the game. Also, I want people to have good experiences playing mafia so we can play more of it in the future.

I think the discussion has been helpful to see where everyone comes from. We never all agree on this but I think we're not far off from each other.

interesting... I don't remember ever being in a game with a no lynch option. I presume its a bad thing because you can't catch mafia if you don't take a shot and you're giving them a free turn. On the other hand, if you kick out a town player, you're helping the mafia toward a win so, i can see the allure, but I'm guessing its still a sub-par option.

Either way, Mogri said no votes equals no lynch and orchestrating that seems unlikely. I presume even one vote would result in a lynch.

If you're not posting or even voting, you're not giving anyone any data. You're keeping yourself in the same state as you were at the start of the first day, which does nothing to help us find the mafia.

Just because you said you were suspicious of Taeryn, and then he did too?

It's not so much the fact that he agreed with me, it's more the way he did it. He parroted my post in suspecting Taeryn, which could be considered suspicious, but he did it in such a nebulous way, i.e."I don't know why I think this"
That I actually read it as town instead.

Before this day ends, I'd like one more thing from everyone: who is your top suspect? Who do you think is most likely town? What makes them suspect/trustworthy to you?

Ugh, I got nothing. Um... tentative vote for Trar. I don't like it, though. I'm having a hard time justifying any choice at this point.

No one, really, to be honest. Trar is either/or. I think Trar, regardless of alliance, is either busy or just plum forgot/didn't notice it was happening. Everyone else isn't saying to much and none of the accusations so far hold much water to me. If I see something more substantial than being "bugged", then I'd like to hear it.

my initial thinking is that rufferto is most likely town.
Why: well, i interpret his opinions on me and turtle as attempting to figure out things and he's the only one who's tried to do much in the way of investigation of anybody.
Grain of salt:i tend to interpret people who are wrong about me as making an honest mistake based on the fact that i always have a hard time writing something in mafia games that sounds natural. I'm always second guessing myself and so when people suspect me, I tend to think "well, that's understandable. I am pretty terrible at this" instead of thinking someone is intentionally trying to turn folk against me.

for most likely mafia: no idea. almost nobody has made any real opinions known about any player in the game at all. Gerad for example has really stuck to mechanics or seeking clarification. Turtle doesn't like my post, but was coy with a reason. Maybe with some votes on the table, things will clarify some over night?

As I previously stated, generally its better to go after someone who we think is mafia, but at this point, I'm not suspicious of literally anyone in the game... and given the other votes, I think that's a common feeling. So at that point, we're down to random luck or at least eliminating a player early that isn't going to give us any info to work from later.
